Old Man River (老人河) - Colm Wilkinson (C. T. Wilkinson)
Old man river
That old man river
He must know something
He don't say nothing
He just keeps rolling
He keeps on rolling along
He don't plant taters
He don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em a soon forgotten
But old man river
He just keeps rolling along
You and me
We sweat and strain
Bodys all aching
And wracked with pain
You tote that barge
You lift that bale
You get a little drunk
And you land in jail
And I get weary
And sick of trying
I'm tired of living
But scared of dying
But old man river
He just keeps rolling along
And you and me
We sweat and strain
Bodys all aching
And wracked with pain
You tote that barge
You lift that bale
You get a little drunk
And you land in jail
And I get weary
And sick of trying
I'm tired of living
But I'm so scared of dying
But old man river
He just keeps rolling
He keeps on rolling
He just keeps rolling along
